IGP Submits State Police Framework to Senate Leadership

On Thursday, the Inspector General of Police (IGP) submitted a 75-page framework for the establishment of state police in Nigeria to the Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin. This submission was made on behalf of the IGP by Professor Olu Ogunsakin, who is the chairman of the committee set to examine the modalities for establishing state police.

The framework details operational proposals and is expected to contribute meaningfully to ongoing deliberations regarding national security. Ismail Mudashir, a special adviser to the Deputy Senate President, noted that the report will assist in shaping balanced and pragmatic decisions on critical aspects of national security architecture.

The Senate Committee on the 1999 Constitution will review this framework alongside other submissions, aligning with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's agenda to fully secure the country.
